This former A+ list mostly movie actress who is now an A- list was not shy about letting a random hot waiter know she was available for room service over the weekend. Even though she is married our actress hit on guy after guy during the event and made plans to hook up with the waiter and even passed him her phone number and room number and told him not to be late.

I worked at lots of hotels when I was younger, they all had that regulation regarding staff visiting rooms for fun times. Some of the people I worked with treated that more as a guideline than a rule, a baseball cap + parka can conceal just aboot anything from security cameras

How can she look at herself knowing her sister took her life because of her...I feel really sad for their entire family. They make disfunctional families look normal. Karma is going to catch up with julia though.

While I don't doubt that Julia is a real c*nt, and was probably a nightmare of an older sister, I think it was a pretty cruel parting gift leaving a 5 page note specifically blaming the suicide on Julia. That will haunt her for the rest of her life. (Which I'm sure was the intention behind it.)

@Mama Ray, I agree. I think what people need to remember is that Nancy Moates was clearly mentally disturbed. The way she lashed at JLR on Twitter just wasn't something someone with grip on their sanity would do. JLR probably (heh, probably with a chance of almost definitely) was a bad sister, but she bears no direct responsibility for her sister's death. Indirect contribution via cruelty perhaps, but blame is blanket easily laid at the foot of the most handily available subject. In the end, Nancy's actions that took Nancy's life. Mental illness is a cruel mistress.

So not into the ladies like it's usually presumed? She's like the female version of B. Cooper. Everyone guesses them for the same sex blinds but then it's revealed they're straight. Or at least versatile.

So Julia is scum and to blame for her sister being a drug addict? Easy to make the jump from bad wife and bad sister to responsible for someone else's tragic life circumstances. None of us are black and white good or bad people.

I was reading up on what ever happened to Emily Lloyd - a rising star in the '90s who just completely vanished from the radar. Well, turns out she endured, among other things, getting fired from a series of major roles, a nearly-botched abortion, a bizarrely mistreated dog bite in India, suicide attempts, drug addiction, a diagnosis of mild schizophrenia, OCD, Tourette's... it's almost a laundry list of misfortune.

Anyways, in reading her words on each of the three firings that happened early in her promising career, what is striking is that, as honest as she is about confronting her demons and challenges, she sees herself as the innocent victim in each instance. She gets into a row with Cher and is replaced on "Mermaids," and Cher is to blame. She has problems handling Woody Allen's direction on "Husbands and Wives" and loses that gig, and Woody is at fault. And I'm not sure if I buy that she was canned from "Tank Girl" over a misunderstanding involving a hairdresser (again, in her telling, not her fault, but a director out to get her for some reason).

What I'm saying is, in relation to the Julia/Nancy story is that even for someone like Emily Lloyd, who received treatment and is in recovery, the instinct to blame others for the things that led to their misfortunes is very strong. Julia may not be the sunniest unicorn in the sky, but she is not to blame for her sister's lifelong battles with mental illness and addiction, and certainly is not responsible for her death. If JR and her family made the decision to disentangle from Nancy's messy life, there was a very good reason for it, just as there was for the producers of three different films who, almost one after another, found Emily Lloyd's behavior too problematic to continue working with.

Wow, @GPS, that was a fascinating read! I could see some of where circumstances came into play but other parts where she clearly wasn't taking responsibility. There's no way she was fired from Tank Girl for letting a hairdresser go to dinner, for example.

I think some of the vitriol against JLR is because she's a nasty person, and sympathy for a nasty person, even in their hardest times, is hard to muster. I suppose there's also not a small bit of schadenfreude, as there is in much of Hollywood gossip, but it feels dirtier because she's lost a sister - at the same time, she was cruel to that sister, they were never close, they were half-sisters, etc., etc.

And yeah, hopefully this is the last time I'll ever have to defend JLR, too!

It's not fair to blame Julia for the death of her sister. Her sister chose to take her life; Julia did not kill her. You are responsible for YOUR own happiness; it's not up to anyone else to make you happy. It sounds like Nancy had a number of issues and demons and it was very sad that she couldn't seek help for those, but it's not fair to pin any of it on Julia. There are just as likely to be people who come out of the woodwork to say Julia is an amazing aunt / friend / confidante, after all.

Anyway, can't say I'm surprised this is her for this Blind. She strikes me has having a bit of a mid-life crisis of late and has obviously become a bit bored with Danny Moder. I always wondered why she settled for him as he seemed a bit 'homely' compared to the guys she'd dated previously. Shame she can't do the decent thing and tell him it's over before fooling around, though.
